Miyakojima is a wonderfully relaxed island and Miyakojima Guesthouse the perfect place to start your explorations. It's conventiently close to a great beach, offers very reasonably priced bicycles and scooters for the duration of your stay as well as airport transfer and has a fully equipped kitchen for your use. Most of all, it feels more like a home than a hostel.|When I arrived at the island, the owner picked me up at the aiport with his van, drove me to the guest house and had the very reliable Honda scooter ready for my tours around the island. You have to be careful though as many gas stations close early in the evenings except in the main town Hirara.

It reminds me of visiting my grandparents' house a bit as it is very clean and well maintained and has a feeling of home. The kitchen area is renovated, and rooms have ac and fans. The owners are very accommodating and can help you enjoy miyakojima. There are bikes and scooters available to rent as well as car rental help, all of which I recommend as miyakojima is a fairly big place to explore. For the value, this place can not be beat, and I hope to return again to enjoy miyakojima. I had an excellent experience and would...
